- 02 Yajaira Nailah Ortañez is the kind of girl who lights up every room she enters - cheerful, friendly, and fearless when it comes to making new friends. But after her heart was shattered by her first love, she left Cebu behind and started fresh in Manila, determined to build a new life as a teacher at a prestigious school. There, she met Haarshini Nzaidan Villaruel - a fellow teacher and her perfect opposite. From the moment they crossed paths, it was a constant battle of wills, like cats and dogs clashing at every turn. Yet, when Hanz finally confessed his feelings, Yajaira found herself swept into a secret romance - one they had to hide, because relationships between teachers were forbidden. But love isn't always fair. Everything came crashing down the day Yajaira caught Hanz kissing another woman. Betrayed and broken, she walks away - unsure if she can trust him again. Will she listen to his explanation? Can she find the strength to forgive? And is she willing to risk her heart for love once more?

Love, for her, is a dangerous gamble she refuses to take again. Then came Dr. Craige. Brilliant. Handsome. Untouchable.

Left by the woman he thought he'd spend forever with, Craige has sworn off love, burying himself in hospital halls and the silence of work. But when two scarred souls cross paths, destiny doesn't ask for permission. As tension simmers and emotions resurface, Zachna and Craige are forced to confront the truths they've long buried. The pain. The fear. The longing. Can two hearts haunted by the past find the courage to love again? Or will fear win, and history repeat itself? COMPLETED: July 13, 2022
